hi
it is an easy way to detect your iphone to your pc .
for windows users :-
click on start button,
go to devices or printers
than it will show Apple Iphone
double click on that and it will search for the problem
it will say to reinstall the drivers , by asking fix it ..
click on fix it ..
and all ur problem is SOLVED...!!!

I have the same problem, going on months now. The above instructions do not help me because the iPhone no longer shows up even in the device manager. I have no other problems sync'ing my iPhone with iTunes. All software/drivers are current.

I gather from reading various versions of this question that it has something to do with the pictures I have taken, emailed, processed, etc on my phone. I now have ~1500 pictures and emailing them to myself one at a time is NOT a good option.
